When you start playing Call of Duty Black Ops 7, you’ll notice there are lots of different characters you can play as. These characters are called Operators, and while they don’t change how you play the game, they let you show off your style. Black Ops 7 launches with 24 Operators spread across three different groups, and each one has its own look and personality. Here is the complete list of all Operators and Factions in COD Black Ops 7.
COD Black Ops 7: All Operators and Factions
Black Ops 7 splits its Operators into three main groups. You’ve got JSOC and The Guild, who fight against each other in Multiplayer, plus a special Dedicated Zombies Crew that’s only for Zombies mode. Here’s every single Operator you can get in Black Ops 7, organized by their faction.
All JSOC Operators
David “Section” Mason leads JSOC, and this group is all about elite military operations. It is the serious, tactical operators who get the job done. This faction has 9 Operators total, and most of them look like real soldiers you’d see in modern warfare.

If you want to experience the full story of Zombies mode, you’ll want to use these characters. They include fan favorites like Dempsey, Richtofen, and other returning characters from previous Black Ops games.
